Tuesdays with Dorie: Double Apple Bundt Cake

Lynne of Honey Muffin keeps the autumn recipes coming with her Double Apple Bundt pick for TWD. This is kind of a spicy sister to the Fresh Apple Cake I made a couple of weeks ago…that one was flavored with vanilla, but this one has all the classic fall spices goin’ on.

This cake is “double apple” because in addition to fresh apple, it calls for a heaping helping of apple butter. Since I didn’t have nearly enough on hand, I used unsweetened apple sauce instead. I was a little worried, since they’re not really the same consistency, but as it turned out, all was fine. I also swapped out about a quarter of the AP for whole wheat flour, which these days I find myself doing probably more often than I remember to tell you about.

After seeing pictures of the full bundt cake version of this recipe, I almost wish I had gone that route instead of the minis. Your looks just perfect with the dusting of confectioners sugar. So simple and so delicious.
Good save with the apple sauce! That would have made me a bit nervous as well. :~)
